An uncommon copy of this collection of letters from Marcus Tullius Cicero to his brother Quintus and to Brutus

Cicero, a Roman statesman, lawyer, political theorist, philosopher, and Roman constitutionalist, lived from 106 to 43 BC. He was a Roman Senator and Roman Consul (chief-magistrate) who played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. A contemporary of Julius Caesar, Cicero is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists.

He is famed, amongst other things, for the eight hundred letters he wrote to others that still exist, including the letters to his brother, to Atticus, Brutus, and other friends.
